Where is the hidden (set in configuration settings) Sidebar Page located?:

• sidebar

We normally have a full Table of Contents here with all the html for the book following, in one long page. Then the Left Sidebar has the 4 Books Navigation and OpenCPN User Manual expanded with all the next level pages showing. http://opencpn.org/ocpn/opencpn_manual

• Why isn't this top page showing the sidebar?
• Is there a way of showing the top title of a given page in the Sidebar rather than the file name?
• Is there a way of hiding the “sidebar” page so it is not seen by users?

{{indexmenu_n>18}}

Book Navigation - left column

1. Use the default Template or other template that supports a “sidebar” page
2. Make a “sidebar” page just under the namespace (or book).
3. Insert the Indexmenu into the sidebar page.
4. Everything entered into the sidebar page is displayed in the left column.
5. Set the order of pages with msort[#meta] see http://zigi.cc.fmph.uniba.sk/dokuwiki/wiki/indexmenu
6. In Sidebar put “indexmenu>:opencpn:opencpn_user_manual#5|navbar context msort nons”
7. Upper left corner put “indexmenu_n>12” (in double brackets) of each page, change number for position.

Sort pages by a custom metadata information. Without the optional meta parameter, it'll be used the custom sorting number specified with the syntax (read below for more infos). meta should refer to the data structure (Array values are managed throught the “:“ separator, for example: „msort#date:modified).

You can hide the sidebar page itself in the indexmenu options, which gives you a choice of which pages to hide, using a regular expression. In my case, I have the sidebar page set to :wiki:sidebar. To hide it I use a simple regex: /sidebar/.

Indexmenu is fairly complex in its offering of options, so you can experiment and get what you find it an ideal
